A FOOTBALL academy is getting in the festive spirit with two Christmas fun days.

Steve Claridge Football Foundation, based at the Ray Mac, is hosting the two-day camp at the start of the Christmas holiday period.

They are Monday, December 19 and Tuesday, December 20.

Players will receive a certificate of attendance, free ticket to a Whites game, a programme signed by the players, the chance to win a signed football shirt, a Christmas gift and they will meet Steve Claridge and footballer Callum Hart, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury.

The days run from 9am to 3pm and are for boys and girls aged six to 12 year olds.

It's £15 for two full days and £10 for one day.

To pre-book, which is offering a 10 per cent discount, email aaron.rogers@steveclaridgefootballfoundation.org.

Alternatively, call 07540807270.

THE academy is recruiting for students ahead of its next BTEC course and is holding an open day on Thursday, December 8 at the Ray Mac, from 4pm to 6pm.
